Good morning, Warner Robins.

Heritage Elementary School is hosting a 'Meals-in-a-Bag' food drive to fight hunger for families during the holiday season.

Michael Lee—a furloughed worker from Robins Air Force Base—donated to his church food drive and will buy a Thanksgiving meal for a family in need despite missing paychecks from a government shutdown, urging neighbors to help support those facing food insecurity.

Houston County honored Perry Middle teacher Barbara 'Mama' Gilmore by inducting her into the hall of fame—her former students credited her support and compassion for a lasting impact.

The award recognizes her years of dedication and service in education.

Brush fires have spread across Central Georgia as dry, windy conditions persist, with 14 fires reported since October—one on Homer Roberts Road in Jones County started as a controlled burn and is still smoldering.

Officials urge residents to use caution with debris burning and call 911 if they see any new fires.

Warner Robins approved a design contract with local firm JMA Architecture on November 3 to build a long-awaited Vietnam Veterans Memorial—using $128,000 from SPLOST funds after local bids were reviewed.

Mayor LaRhonda Patrick said the design is expected to be completed in about three months and will honor over 1,500 Georgia Vietnam Veterans.
